Wayne, Michigan

In the Arms of Angels:  Her epitaph reads: "God's Resting Angel." That epitaph is almost an epithet in the purest meaning of the word: a phrase that stands in for the person's name, to wit, something put (tithenai) in addition to or upon (epi) a name. In other words, you can just call her "God's Resting Angel" without using her name. How much resting do you think she did when she was alive? Westlawn Cemetery. [2018]
